Medical Xpress / Routine clinical data help AI predict rapid Parkinson's decline three to five years in advance
For patients diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, one of the greatest uncertainties is what comes next. Some people experience relatively mild symptoms for years. Others face a much steeper course marked by worsening movement ...
Phys.org / An anomalous return of the Odden ice tongue suggests unusual Arctic conditions
Data from many sources, including NASA, have shown a significant decrease in Arctic sea ice since 1979. However, the processes driving the melting and freezing of sea ice are complex, and fluctuations occur throughout the ...
Phys.org / Five-metal 2D catalysts could convert CO₂ to CO without needing an extra electrical boost
Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is usually discussed as something the world needs to get rid of. Activities such as the burning of fossil fuels for daily use, including electricity and transportation, and industrial applications release ...
Phys.org / Metabolic networks provide clues about the earliest stages of enzyme evolution
The enzymes found in modern organisms are complex proteins, often with multiple folded substructures and specialized catalytic sites. Proteins are encoded by genes. Tracing the history of enzymes across all living organisms ...
Dialog / Making superconductors thinner can change how they accommodate magnetic fields
What happens when a superconductor becomes so thin that electrons can no longer behave as if they were moving through an ordinary three-dimensional piece of metal? This question has been at the center of my recent work on ...
Phys.org / First DDT, now the flu: Peregrine falcons in San Francisco Bay Area hit hard by H5N1 variant
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) featured prominently in the news during 2020 as it took the lives of millions of birds across the globe. While the worst seems to be behind us, population-level effects are just now ...
Phys.org / Probiotic and postbiotic treatments revive heat-stressed corals in field experiment
Climate change continues to threaten the world's coral reefs, which support at least a quarter of all marine life. Though probiotics have been shown to rehabilitate corals in aquarium experiments, demonstrating the efficacy ...
Medical Xpress / More frequent cannabis use linked to poorer mental health
More frequent cannabis use is associated with fewer days of good mental health among adults, particularly men, according to a study co-authored by a University of Miami Business School professor.
Phys.org / Heavy water's atmospheric fingerprints boost weather forecasts for up to five days
Weather forecasts rely on many different kinds of data, including temperature, humidity and wind. For the first time, researchers, including those at the University of Tokyo, have demonstrated that a long-theorized improvement ...
Medical Xpress / Some hair loss in men is linked to weight loss drug use
Men already genetically at risk for the most common form of hair loss have a 7% added risk of losing their hair if they use drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound for type 2 diabetes and obesity, a new study shows.
Phys.org / Underwater meadows sustain millions in extreme poverty
A study provides the first large-scale empirical evidence that seagrass meadows act as a critical safety net for millions of coastal people living in extreme poverty across the Indo-Pacific.
Medical Xpress / T cell protein could unlock new treatment for the most-feared joint replacement complication
Bone and joint infections cause significant health problems for patients and lead to millions of dollars in added health costs per year, but clinicians lack reliable tools to predict which patients will develop severe or ...
